Mumford and Sons Will Headline R/L 2013

[thewayiam]

Offspring have played at least 5 times with sub spots to Darkness, Prodigy & Chili Peppers.

[jump]

my apologies for missing the 2004 sub to the darkness date, but even between 99 and 2004 there was still a 3 year gap between 2 of the shows.

The main point is, what's the chances of a band subbing 3 times in 5 years?

[dentalplan]

It depends more on circumstances rather than patterns, for example if Paramore don't do any UK shows between now and then with a successfull new album behind them it would make them a more attractive booking due to rarity even if it's a boring repeat booking.

Patterns are made to be broken like there must be a new headliner every year, there must a heavy headliner every year, the legendary act must be on the Sunday, Metalllica plays every 5 years, an act wont sub 2 years in a row etc all of which have been broken.

That was a good one. 1997, 2003, 2008...

[2rare2die]

I don't even know how that got started as 97 & 03 is a 6 year gap.

Anythings possible. To be honest, I don't really know why Paramore played in 2012, and QOTSA in 2010 when they didn't have anything new to do since their last slot. Must have been struggling for ideas.

I'm going to go for it in here as other others are specific header threads, whereas this one is just a they aren't even playing now. It's a 1st guess, it's only April guys, this can be changed later, just not everyday lol

R&L - Mumford & Sons, Paramore (I don't have another option that isn't Blur), Metallica

V Fest - Arctic Monkeys, Lady GaGa

Download - Pearl Jam, A7X, NIN

IOW - Biffy Clyro, Arcade Fire, Muse

TITP - Biffy Clyro, Lady GaGa, Muse

Glastonbury - Arcade Fire, Radiohead, Fleetwood Mac

Not so much what I think they will get, but I can imagine they are acts the fests will be gunning for.

3 things though:

Muse, will they be around? I don't know but I doubt it.

I can definitely see Prodigy headlining somewhere

Glasto is always so hard to predict this early, but those bands would suit it and go down very well

Why on earth is Metallica 'wishful thinking'?

[dentalplan]

All of the r&l ones are probably wrong - Mumford will do V I reckon, Paramore won't headline but I can see blur doing it! Metallica is just wishful thinking.

Still sticking with QOTSA - Blur - Arctic Monkeys

Seeing as glastonbury share headliners with T alot, it's very likely they will do T instead of IOW.
